WatchGuard Announcement: Remote Access Solutions... What You Need To Know
We would like to share some important information with you during this time.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, millions of us are now working from home or remote offices. We have been spending the last few weeks working with many of our customers expanding or deploying these solutions and we are in daily contact with our distributors and vendors to ensure the long-term availability of all WatchGuard products and services.
Know Your Options
With WatchGuard solutions we are able to offer a variety of options to assist your business in continuing to function through this time:
- WatchGuard Firewall VPN Services
- WatchGuard Passport
- WatchGuard AuthPoint MFA
- DNSWatch/DNSWatchGO
- Assistance with deploying and securing your solution
We remain concerned that whilst some of our customers have considered and taken steps to protect the security of their expanding networks, many are still unaware of the potential vulnerabilities and risks associated with a displaced workforce.
The challenge to ensure adequate security protection has never been greater, as we transition from perimeter-based security to virtual networks and cloud-based services.
The boundaries of many networks have now been expanded to include sites over which we have no control, at the same time the cyber security risk has risen as criminals look to exploit this increased exposure.
In the coming days we will be in touch with information on things you should be considering and we’d recommend chatting with us about:
To combat an increase in Phishing – Phishing Tests and ongoing training
We are seeing a huge increase in phishing attempts where criminals look to catch staff ‘off their guard’ whilst working from home.
To secure the desktop – WatchGuard Passport
WatchGuard’s powerful collection of remote security tools including Authpoint MFA, DNSWatchGO and Endpoint Security to secure your remote workers devices
To secure identities – Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)
WatchGuard’s unique MFA solution not only reduces network disruptions and data breaches arising from weak or stolen credentials, but it delivers this important capability entirely from the Cloud for easy set-up and management. It works by authenticating users via a smartphone app.
